Spirit and Resistance : Political Theology

Writing from a Native American perspective, theologian Tinker probes American Indian culture, its vast religious and cultural legacy, and its ambiguous relationship to the tradition--historic Christianity--that colonized and converted it. He offers novel proposals about cultural survival and identity, sustainability, and the endangered health of Native Americans.

George E. "Tink" Tinker is Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology, Denver, Colorado.
